Year 4 — Narrative Writing Sample

As the storm rolled in, the old lighthouse keeper peered through his telescope. The salt-stained, crumbling walls of the tower groaned against the wind.

"We must warn the ships," he muttered, although his voice was swallowed by the howling gale. He climbed the spiral stairs; his legs ached with every step.

Desperately, he lit the great lamp. High above the churning sea, the beam swept outward — which cut through even the thickest fog — and the distant captain saw it just in time.
